BEACHWOOD, Ohio – A Beachwood company is moving its operation and 500 jobs to another East Side suburb.

TMW Systems, which creates software used by trucking companies to track their vehicles, plans to move into two floors of the Eastpoint building at 6085 Parkland Avenue in Mayfield Heights. The move would transfer employees from two buildings in Beachwood.

Company spokeswoman Monica Truelsch confirmed the move but could not confirm details. She said the corporate owners of the firm want to make an announcement at a future time.

Jim Doutt, the director of economic development for Beachwood, said he is not happy with the news.
“Anytime you lose 500 jobs it’s a big deal,” he said. “We’re saddened by the loss, but I don’t think there was anything we could do. We will make every attempt to get a new business in there as soon as we can.”

Mayfield Heights Mayor Anthony DiCicco has heard reports about the move but said he has not been officially informed.

“We really hope it’s true,” he said. “We have not been officially approached by the company. Any time a business like that is willing to move into our city it’s great news. We welcome them.”

TMW started in a University Heights basement in 1983 and kept growing.

"I’ve gone back to our longest-standing employees, who were with our company
founder, Tom Weisz, when TMW Systems was first started, in Weisz’ basement in
University Heights in 1983, where it remained until 1988," said Truelsch.

"From there, TMW moved to the SEO building in South Euclid, until December
of 1991," she continued. "That’s when we began our stay in Beachwood at the Reflections building,
until 1995, then the PDC building until 2001, when we moved to the 21111 Chagrin
Blvd. office."
